FESTIVAL FOR THE SENSES

What first began as a festival founded by David Graziano in Tulum in 2018 will touch down on Miami’s Historic Virginia Key Beach Park for its second iteration November 26-27. Art With Me promises a weekend of art, electronic music, and wellness activities for the entire family. The two-day event will feature large-scale art installations and performances from some of the world’s finest electronic and live musicians across several stages (including Moderat, Big Wild, Apache, and DJ Seinfeld). When not enjoying vibe-heavy beats, peruse vendors ranging from organic cooking to ethically sourced textiles and jewelry. Yoga and dance classes, breathing and mindfulness workshops, and children’s activities round out the festivities. (artwithme.org) —Melissa Puppo

THIS SEASON’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER GIFT.

The holidays are the time for miracles, but here at Jackson Health System they happen every day, all year long. Your donation to our Miracle Fund helps patients get what they want and need most: health. Even when the odds are against them.

At 19 weeks pregnant, Yelsi Consuelo Sosa learned that her baby’s heart had not formed properly and was leaking. She was told he may not survive. “My world was falling apart,” she said. A team of pediatric cardiologists at the UHealth Jackson Children’s Care Congenital Heart Center at Holtz Children’s Hospital began closely monitoring Sosa’s pregnancy. Following an emergency C-section, the baby, David Sosa, underwent several procedures — and Sosa never lost faith in the medical team treating her son. After months of treatment, David was able to go home. Sosa cherishes every moment with him. “Thank you God to all the Jackson doctors — they were able to be there and save his life.” Sometimes a doctor needs a doctor. And that was the case after Lloyd Henry, MD, a talented surgeon, collapsed while performing surgery due to a tear in his aorta and a leaking valve. Flown from St. Croix to Miami to receive medical care at Jackson, he was met by Romualdo Segurola, MD, FACS, Jackson Health System’s chief of cardiac surgery and director of the Jackson Heart Institute, who performed multiple surgeries before Dr. Henry could return back home safely. Now, back to treating his own patients, Dr. Henry offers this diagnosis: “Jackson is like the major leagues.” Elementary school teacher Tyra Starnes was shocked to learn she had chronic kidney disease. Until then, a healthy 25-yearold. But as the disease progressed, she found herself at the Miami Transplant Institute and then on the national organ transplant waiting list. Loved ones stepped up hoping to be a donor - and one was the perfect match: her great-aunt and godmother, Lesley Anderson. “I was meant to be her donor,” said Anderson. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” The kidney transplant surgeries at Jackson Memorial Hospital were a success. Every year on their transplant anniversary, Starnes and Anderson plan to celebrate together.
